that a prominent McEnery leader in
this perish comedies the delegates
from PIaquemines to Nichols.
Lake Charles Commercial We
have had the pleasure of meeting
gentlemen from several different
portions Of the parish this week,
and they all pronounce their locaIi-
ties as almost solid for General
Nichols.
New Orleans News: When you
read some Of the State ring organs
on McEnery's labor policy you
would imagine that McEuery was
the master workman for the State
of Louisiana. So he is but it is
for james & Go.
Sabine Southron: The objection to
a third term increases daily in the
minds and hearts of our thinking
people. Rotation in Office is a
sacred tradition Of democracy and is
essential to the success and per.
petnity OF ID republican institu-
tons.
St. Landry Democrat There
is some talk of dropping McEnery
and taking up a stronger man to
beat Nichols. A stronger mat
may he found, but not one to beat
Nichols, iis can be beaten only
by swiEdlipg and the McEnery
managers ought to know as much
or more about that than anybody
else.
Judge Thos. II. Howes My
friends, | wish to say SO far as
Governor McEnery is concerned, |
know him to be an upright intel
ligent and amiable gentleman, who
possesses in a remarkable degree
the faculty of attaching men TO his
person, but l think he has this
failing, that he will stick to his
friends to the injury of other per-
sons.
Baton Rouge Truth The mons
ter Nichols club of sol members
in Shreveport has spread consterna
ton among the loud mQuihed fol-
lowers Of McEnery there who would
have had it appear hal McEnery
was in the lead in Caddo. Amid
great fuss and feathers a McEnery
club was organized with l6S mem
bers and this is about the relative
strength of the two candidates not
only in .Caddo, but throughout the
State.
Acadia Advance Every news
paper in the State that fails within
the next three weeks to proclaim its
position in the issue between Nc.
Emery and Nichols, car just he set
down as working in favor Of Nc.
Emery, whether they intend doing
so Or not, the affect is the same.
All the fuss aud feathers made
about Gen. Nichols connection
with the Hunt.St. Martin campaign
amounts to nothing. Mr.. Hunt
never went into the convention con
seqnently could not be a boiler of a
Democratic nomination. Hunt was
even a candidate long before the
nominating convention was called
that solid the nomination cut to St..
Martin.
Lake Charles Commercial : Mr..
E. A. Burke, Louisiana's perpetual
State Treasurer, and S. d. Nc
Enery's FIRST trainer, has been doing
some sharp wire-pulIing at the Con
g%ressional convention at Baton
Rouge, in avor of the State Ring.
We all know what Burke wants =;
it is a mar for Governor whom he
can mould and turn and twist at
his pleasure. OF course McEnery
is his man. We would like to see
Messrs. +. A. Burke or Geo. w.
Dupree come down here in Calca.
sieu and try to work up conven.
ton in the manner they have been
working up the sixth district con.
gressional convention at Baton
Rouge, just to see how the honest
democrats of this part of the woods
would turn their backs on them.
Robeline Reporter True, we
may be beloggled Oh the question Of
rotation, and we may be in trouble
with ourself Oh the all important
